Nine-Year-Old Creates iPhone Applications
He's only nine years old, and he's already done something most of us could never do: create an iPhone application.
Lim Ding Wen, a Singapore native, created a new app for the iPhone called Doodle Kids, according to Fox News.
The program lets users draw pictures with their fingers right onto the iPhone's touchscreen. To clear the screen, you just shake the phone.
Doodle Kids has already been downloaded more than 4,000 times.
"I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," Lim said.
Lim, who is now in fourth grade began using a computer at age 2. He has already created about 20 computer programs.
"Every evening we check the statistics emailed to us (by iTunes) to see who has more downloads," Lim Ding Wen's father said.
Lim Dinf Wen is already working on a new iPhone app - a sci-fi gamed called "Invader Wars."

It's sad that age discrimination persists, despite evidence to the contrary.
